Passage Nine 课本P.46

Mr. Richards was quite good at shooting with a rifle, and he had taken part in several

competitions in his small town. He had never actually won a prize, but each time he had done well, and once he had come fourth.

Then he had to go to a big city on business for a month. As he had nothing much to do in the evenings there, he joined the local rifle club, and spent several pleasant evenings shooting there.

The rifle club had a very good first team which used to take part in a lot of important shooting competitions. One of these took place while Mr. Richards was with them. And of course he went to see it. But one of the members of the club’s team suddenly fell ill just before the match. The captain had to choose somebody else to take his place in a hurry. He had heard that Mr. Richards had taken part in several competitions already. He had also seen for himself at the club that, although he was not really up to the standard of the club’s first team, he was quite a good shot. He therefore invited him to take the sick man’s place.

Mr. Richards felt greatly honored to be asked to shoot for such a good team, but he also felt very nervous. He was afraid of making a fool of himself and letting down his team.

He did very badly in the competition. In fact, he was so nervous that he could not keep his hands from trembling while he was shooting. When he took his score card to his captain, he said, “After seeing my score, I feel like going outside and shooting myself.”

The captain looked at the card for a few seconds and then said, “Well, you had better take two bullets with you if you do that.”

Passage Ten 课本P.54

Louis Braille was born in a village near Paris in 1809. When he was three years old, he had an accident in his father’s workshop. He picked up a sharp tool and somehow poked it into his eye. Within months, little Louis was blind in both eyes.

He was sent to a special school for the blind in Paris and learnt to read books which had large, raised capital letters. He also learnt to play the piano, the organ and the violin. Later, he became a master at the school. Braille was interested in finding a system which could be used for blind people to write as well as to read. By 1829, he had worked out the “six dots” system. At first, nobody wanted blind people to use his system. They though that blind people should read raised letters, not dots.

But in 1854, the school where Braille had been a student and a teacher adopted his system. Soon, others followed. And, since that time, the Braille system has become the main method by which blind people all over the world read.

Passage Twelve 课本P.83

What a strange world this would be if everyone told the truth! Even though the whole world claim to dislike lies, it seems that lying is a universal communication style. Most of us get angry at big lies, but how about truth-telling in our private life? Should we always tell the truth to husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, and children?

Public opinion polls find that only about one in ten Americans say they never tall a lie. Some studies showed that each student actually told about two lies a day. Half of all adults

interviewed in a radio poll last year admitted they had told a lie they regretted, and many said they had been deeply hurt by a lie someone told them.

Researchers asked some people to describe the lies they told over a period of weeks. They nearly all stressed that what they told were white lies, and denied having told serious lies. We tell different lies to men than to women. Men and women tell more lies about

themselves when talking to men, but more lies about others when talking to women. Men are particularly likely to lie about themselves. Women tell more lies than men, but only because women tell white lies in order to make others feel comfortable.

Surveys show that nearly everyone believes most people are truthful. That’s why people are so bad at detecting lies. Psychologists have even tested the lie-detecting ability of police officers, judges, customs inspectors and others whose jobs need to detect lies. In these studies, these people were no better at detecting lies than ordinary people.

Read the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions ( 阅读文章选择下列问题的最佳答案 ).

A 1. What is the main idea expressed in the passage?

E. Lying is actually a common phenomenon in social communication. F. People should feel ashamed of telling lies.

G. Lies must be avoided, though nearly impossible. H. People are bad at detecting lies.

A 2. According to the passage, we can infer that .

E. people tend to claim that they do lie, but not out of ill intentions F. lying shouldn’t have become a universal communication style G. college students are No. 1 liars

H. those who are not good at detecting lies should not be police officers, customs inspectors

and others whose job needs to detect lies

C 3. Which of the following is the most likely inference about the result of the public opinion polls on lying?

E. College students are the most possible victims of lies.

F. Half of the grown-ups asked in the polls never feel guilty of telling lies. G. Quite a few people feel lying, though unavoidable, is not a good behavior.
